Maybelline Keep Up The Flame is part of their Color Show polish line. Shown here at 2 easily applied coats. You can't go wrong with a classic coral-y red jelly polish. Looks great with every outfit all year long.

Sally Hansen Red Carpet is part of the Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear collection. Red Carpet is great rich red jelly filled with red shimmer. Fantastic polish with a wide brush that barely needs a second coat!

Revlon Sheer Nude is one of those polishes I would never pick up for myself but I'm so glad a friend gave this one to me! I used 3 coats for this level of opacity. The formula is very buildable and you could easily make it more or less sheer depending on how many coats you use. Great polish that really grew on me throughout the day. I ended up really loving it!

I don't have very many OPI polishes but I really love their wide brush. OPI Heart Throb is one of those colors I would never pick out for myself (so pink!) but I ended up loving. Shown here at 3 easily applied coats, Heart Throb is a nicely balanced classic pink jelly polish that will look great on a wide range of skin tones. Nothing new but still gorgeous! I think this color actually works great with all of the cold weather we've been having too.

My friend Casey gave me these two fantastic Revlon Glimmer Gloss polishes & they look great together. I started with a base of Revlon Banana Blaze & then added freehand stripes of Revlon Cherry Fizz. My nails looked like candy!

Zoya Muse is from their Summer 2014 Bubbly collection.
This is a tricky polish review! Zoya Muse is a blue raspberry jelly with Zoya's lovely gold microshimmer & pastel cellophane glitter featured in Monet, just a smaller size. I had a lot of trouble applying this one. Muse is very pigmented so only needed 2 coats, but you absolutely can't go over a wet area without dragging, in this case pulling off all of the polish you just applied. It wasn't self-leveling either. I remember asking Will to help accomplish a minor task saying, "I don't want to mess up my nails because I never want to use this polish again."

But then I caught a glimpse of my hands in the mirror later that night couldn't help but notice how gorgeous this polish is. Over the next few days I decided that Zoya Muse is just way too pretty to give up on after one try. I've never seen anything else quite like Zoya Muse & it just looked great on me. She's a keeper even after a bad first go round!

Zoya Jesy is from their Summer 2014 Bubbly collection.
Zoya describes Jesy as "a full coverage, fiery coral orange metallic holo featuring the
exclusive liquid-metal holographic jelly formula" & I agree. I love the way Zoya does gold &
silver micro shimmer & it looks particularly stunning in a jelly
formula. As for the holographic sparkles, they are the same lovely
pastel cellophane glitter featured in Monet, just in a smaller size. Zoya Jesy is shown here at 3 easily applied thin coats. Great color for summer!

We bought a lemon tree!

Yellow jelly polishes are so strange looking but I love them anyway! This is 3 easily applied coats of Revlon Banana Blaze. It's a sunshine yellow jelly with sparse silver glitter. I know it doesn't look great with my skin tone but Banana Blaze is still a keeper since it's so unique! I'll have to try layering it over some other colors some day.

Zoya Binx is from their Summer 2014 Bubbly collection. Zoya describes Binx as "a spicy orchid purple dappled with gold metallic & holo sparkles" but I would definitely describe this one as a well balanced, medium toned pink jelly. I love the way Zoya does gold & silver micro shimmer & it looks particularly stunning in a jelly formula. As for the holographic sparkles, they are the same lovely pastel cellophane glitter featured in Monet, just in a smaller size. Taken together it's a gorgeous combination that makes for a very unique polish. Binx would look great with just about any skin tone too!
I used 2 coats here & tried a third on on nail to see if I could get closer to the color seen in promo pics. I couldn't tell a difference so I just left it at two coats. Still a beautiful polish with an easy to work with formula.

I picked up Elizabeth Arden Seaview Crimson while browsing the shelves
of a tiny beauty supply store. I'm a sucker for square & rectangle
bottles. I wish all polish came in non round bottles actually. They fit
together so nicely when storing.
Seaview Crimson is not unique but it has a terrific streak free formula that covers in just 2 coats. It's a lovely true red jelly polish. Definitely a keeper for me!
If you'd like a bottle for yourself, I've just opened a little storefront with various brand new polishes I've picked up over the years. Sometimes I see a closeout deal & I just can't help myself!
